There must be something in the Spanish water. Queuing up in any office can be a dreary experience, much less waiting in the unemployment line in Madrid. A small group of musicians and singers inject a bit of sunshine into the cold fluorescence with an organized flash mob performing The Beatles classic "Here Comes the Sun."

The soloist is marvelous, and this just may be the best way to kick off this hump day.

It brought tears to my eyes. We forget about those who are struggling and here we sit in our cozy little home with food in the cupboard and the bills are paid. What a kind and loving thing to do to share a few minutes of music and hope for those less fortunate. Reach out to your fellow man today and spread a little joy.

This brought tears to my eyes! My husband and I have been struggling to provide for our six kids for a few years now. He lost his business and I was diagnosed with cancer. I could feel their pain and joy as they listened to this beautiful flash mob! The world is a lovely place :Thanks for brightening a few people's day!! Hope is everything!!

We need more of this in our dreary world. Maybe we need to have flash mobs in our Congress when they refuse to compromise. We had an interesting happen in our state legislature. One committee was refusing to pass a bill that would have made felons (5 years after their sentence was completed) elligible for food stamps. One of the committee members confronted the chairperson outside the meeting room with the contradiction that was present in this same committee wanting to pass a law that would give felons (5 years after their sentence was completed) the right to own guns.

There indeed must be something in the spanish water.This is a wonderfull place to transform people, and give them something else to think about. That soloist is really amazing, it gives a whole new light to the Beatles classic!

December 23, 2010I was just suggesting a Flash Mob procejt to start in the spring, beginning with rehearsals at my church in Farmington Hills!. (Wellspring Church) This would be a really fun way to get the youth involved and get a message out to others.. We will definitely post when more plans have evolved!

Susan PhillipsDecember 31, 2010Mark and Muriel, I love this idea of a Flash Mob like the food court Hallelujah Chorus!It would be especially wouenrfdl to use some classical piece like this that would take commitment to practice, and so well worth the effort. Unforgettable.

Watched this in tears. Why? Who knows? Joy, mostly. And touched that a song written decades ago by souls, some no longer with us. can still reach out and bring comfort, relief, respite. What a world! Thank you.

Loved it. That certainly would take some of the pain out of the wait. I'm glad I'm retired after seeing the amount of people waiting. The little baby looked like he was thinking 'is this what I have to look forward to in my future?"

Amazing, a moving act of love, empathy and solidarity specially in times of hardship. A bow to these musicians for their humanity towards these persons in inoculating joy & hope for a better tomorrow. Today almost 6 million Spaniards are unemployed.

When I view the people and listened to the music, I realize that people are the same where ever we go. We suffer at the hands of the mighty few. They make us beg and scrounge for our daily bread. My heart cries out for us to see the beauty in workers of the world. We have so much in common. Let us feel for each other no matter where on the earth we are from. One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright.

the hope that comes through such acts comes because we feel we are not alone, that others care, that we in our trials are not abandoned, but cherished and loved ... we feel connected and alive, not isolated, worthless and abandoned
